Language: German (Deutsch)
Es blühen und glühen die Rosen, Wie rothe Flammen am Strauch, Die Abendwinde umkosen Die Rose mit schmeichelndem Hauch. Violen duften und Flieder Mit süß berauschender Macht, Und flötende Nachtigalllieder Durchfluten die weiche Nacht. Das ist die heimliche Stunde, Wo leise vom Himmel steigt Der Lenz und mit küssendem Munde Zur blühenden Erde sich neigt.

1. May night
Language: English
The roses bloom and glow Like red flames upon the bush, The evening winds caress The rose with flattering breath. Violets and lilac pour forth scent With sweetly intoxicating power, And fluting nightingale songs Flood the soft night. This is the secret hour When spring quietly descends From heaven, and with kissing lips Inclines itself toward the blossoming world.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Tag neigt sich zu Ende, Es kommt die stille Nacht; Nun ruht, ihr müden Hände, Das Tagwerk ist vollbracht. Du aber, Seele, ringe Dich von der Erde los, Und werde leicht und schwinge Dich auf in Gottes Schooß. Hinauf mit Glaubensflügeln, Die Liebe fliegt voran, Wo über dunkeln Hügeln Der Himmel aufgetan.

2. Evening song
Language: English
The day is drawing to a close, The quiet night is coming; Now rest, ye weary hands, The day's work is completed. But you, oh soul, wrestle Yourself free from the earth, And become light and swing Yourself up into the lap of God. Upward with the pinions of faith, Love flies before you, Where, above the dark hills, Heaven is opened.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Neuer Frühling ist gekommen, Neues Laub und Sonnenschein, Jedes Ohr hat ihn vernommen, Jedes Auge saugt ihn ein. Und das ist ein Blühn und Sprießen, [Waldesduften]1, Quellenfließen, Und die Brust wird wieder weit, Frühling, Frühling, goldne Zeit! Von [dem]2 Felsen in die Weite Fliege hin, mein Frühlingssang, Ueber Ströme und Gebreite, Durch Gebirg und Blüthenhang! Darf nicht wandern, muß ja bleiben, Ob's mich ziehn auch will und treiben, Doch so weit [mein]3 Himmel blaut Singen, singen will ich laut! Wie die Welt auch wechselnd gehe, Wie das Schicksal auch mich treibt, Komme Glück und komme Wehe, [Fest doch weiß ich was mir bleibt:] 4 Fester Mut der freien Seele Und die freudge Liederkehle, Lebenslust und Lebensdrang, Goldnes Leben im Gesang!

3.
Language: English
New spring has come, New foliage and sunshine, Every ear has heard it, Every eye drinks it in. And that is a blossoming and sprouting, Forest scents, flowing of water-springs, And the bosom expands once more, Spring, spring, golden time! From the rocky [cliff]1 into the distance, Fly forth, my springtime singing, Over rivers and broad expanses, Through mountain ranges and blossoming hillsides! I may not wander, for I must stay, Though it wishes to draw along and urge me, But as far as my sky is blue I shall sing, sing loudly! However changefully the world goes its way, However fate impels me onward, Whether good fortune or sorrow comes, [Yet steadfastly I know what remains to me:]2 Strong courage of my free soul And the joyful throat of songs, Joy in life and urge to live, Golden life in singing!
